The National Alliance to End Homelessness has established a scholarship program to assist individuals who are currently experiencing homelessness or have recently experienced homelessness (within the last five years), and cannot afford to cover the full cost of participating in the conference.
What a Scholarship Includes
- Complimentary conference registration
- Roundtrip transportation to Washington, D.C. to attend the conference
- Hotel accommodations for three nights at the conference hotel during the conference
- A stipend for meals and expenses
Criteria for Awarding Scholarships
Scholarship awards will be based on financial need, geographic distribution, and the leadership skills the applicant will be able to bring back to their community.
Anyone who has received a scholarship in the last two years is not eligible for a scholarship.
Successful applicants are those who:
- Meet the criteria indicating current living status, and
- Submit a complete application, answering all questions asked
- Scholarship awards are limited to the costs associated with the travel and lodging of the scholarship recipient only.
- Scholarships are not transferable to another individual and all applicants must be 18 years of age or older.
The Alliance will accept 80 scholarship applications for this conference, and 15 applicants will be awarded a scholarship to attend. The application will close on May 2, 2025 or once the submission limit has been reached.
Decision notifications will be emailed no later than May 19, 2025.
